Background: ADAM9, 10, and 17 are a class of disintegrins and metallproteinases with oc-secretase activity. There are conflicting results regarding the role(s) of ADAM9, 10, and 17 in carcinogenesis, and only a few studies have examined their levels and cellular localization in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Studies examining changes in oc-secretase activity in RCC compared to enzymatic activity of the uninvolved kidney are lacking.
